Oh and I was in Paris last year and all the kebab houses (even those run by Turks) are presenting kebab as a Greek dish.

I don't see any problem calling things by their names. Turkish coffee is Turkish. A lot of delights we have are turkish also. I am sure a lot of things they eat in Turkey are Greek. Our cultures have been inter winded for so long sometimes it is almost impossible to tell, especially in Cyprus where everything seems to be a mixture between the two countries' cultures.

You can't get humus in Turkey either. But something I wwant to know is whetehr pork is part of the diet of the Greek speaking Cypriots? I've never seen any recipes with this ingredient.

what u mean no humus in turkey? dunno about you mehmet but i have eaten plenty of it there...

[andri_cy]

We use pork a lot. Like in dishes with moloha or in dishes with tomato sauce and potatoes. We also use it as ground beef a lot for stuff like sheftalia and for spaghetti sauces.

well i guess I was unlucky never ot have seen it available, but next time i will look harder.

they are turkish villages so they get turkish names

Since when are they Turkish villages wise guy? Tell us all to hear.

I agree, please tell me. I wish to hear.

So, for argument sake, if the English army invaded Turkey and changed the name of Bodrum to something like Birmingham. Would this be classed as an English city? The English would reside there, so why not call it an English city?

Hell why not change the names of Turkish villages in the north to english since they are flooding the areas anyway?
